This volume addresses some of the central issues of journalism
today -- the nature and needs of the individual versus the nature
and needs of the broader society; theories of communitarianism
versus Enlightenment liberalism; independence versus
interdependence (vs. co-dependency); negative versus positive
freedoms; Constitutional mandates versus marketplace mandates;
universal ethical issues versus situational and/or professional
values; traditional values versus information age values; ethics of
management versus ethics of worker bees; commitment and compassion
versus detachment and professional distance; conflicts of interest
versus conflicted disinterest; and talking to versus talking with.
All of these issues are discussed within the framework of the
frenetic field of daily journalism--a field that operates at a pace
and under a set of professional standards that all but preclude
careful, systematic examinations of its own rituals and practices.
The explorations presented here not only advance the enterprise,
but also help student and professional observers to work through
some of the most perplexing dilemmas to have faced the news media
and public in recent times.
This lively volume showcases the differing opinions of
journalistic experts on this significant contemporary issue in
public life. Unlike previous books and monographs which have tended
toward unbridled enthusiasm about public journalism, and trade
press articles which have tended toward pessimism, this book offers
strong voices on several sides of this complex debate.
To help inform the debate, a series of voices--journalistic
interviews with practitioners and critics of public journalism --
is interspersed throughout the text. At the end of each essay, a
series of quotes from a wide variety of sources -- In other
words... -- augments each chapter with ideas and insights that
support and contradict the points used by each chapter
author.
